Why You Need a Wallet to Use EVEDEX
EVEDEX is a non-custodial platform, which means there are no usernames, no passwords, and no centralized accounts. Instead, everything runs through your crypto wallet.
Your wallet acts as your gateway—it’s how you connect to the platform, approve trades, deposit into vaults, and withdraw your funds. Since your private keys never leave your wallet, you stay in full control of your assets at all times.
Wallets come in different forms—browser extensions, mobile apps, and even hardware devices. Which one you choose depends on how you trade and how much security you want.
Wallets You Can Use on EVEDEX
Here’s a breakdown of the wallets currently supported by EVEDEX and what makes each one different.
1. MetaMask
MetaMask is one of the most widely used wallets in the Web3 space. It works as both a browser extension and a mobile app, and it's ideal for people who trade from their desktop.
Supports Ethereum and EVM-compatible chains
Easy to use
Good choice for quick access via Chrome or Firefox
Just keep in mind: security depends on your browser/device, so use strong passwords and don’t skip the backup phrase
2. WalletConnect
WalletConnect isn’t a wallet—it’s a connection protocol. It lets you use mobile wallets like Trust Wallet, Rainbow, Argent, and others to access EVEDEX from your phone.
Great for users who prefer mobile over browser-based wallets
Simple QR code or approval process to connect
Acts as a secure bridge between your wallet and the platform
3. Trust Wallet
Trust Wallet is a mobile-first, multi-chain wallet that supports thousands of tokens across different networks.
Works seamlessly with WalletConnect
Broad asset support beyond just Ethereum
Ideal if you hold tokens on multiple blockchains or trade on the go
4. Coinbase Wallet
This is not the same as your Coinbase exchange account. Coinbase Wallet is self-custodial, meaning you control the private keys.
Available as both a mobile app and browser extension
Can connect directly to EVEDEX
Designed for users already in the Coinbase ecosystem but looking for decentralized access
5. Rabby Wallet
Rabby is built for DeFi. It’s a browser extension that offers some smart safety features and improved dApp compatibility.
Automatically switches to the right network
Pre-checks transactions before you sign them
Gives added transparency for DeFi users who want more control and less guesswork
6. Ledger (via MetaMask)
Ledger is a hardware wallet—your private keys are stored offline. While you can’t connect it directly to EVEDEX, you can pair it with MetaMask for secure trading.
Best option for security-conscious traders
Every transaction must be confirmed on your physical device
Adds an extra layer of protection against phishing and browser-based threats

Common Questions
What is a crypto wallet?
It’s a digital tool that stores your assets and allows you to interact with the blockchain. On EVEDEX, it’s also how you log in and sign transactions.
What’s the difference between a wallet and an exchange account?
A wallet keeps the keys in your hands. You control the funds, not the platform. With centralized exchanges, the platform holds your assets.
Which wallet should I use?
Use MetaMask for browser trading
Use Trust Wallet if you’re mostly on mobile
Use Ledger if security is your top priority
Is using a wallet safe?
Yes, as long as you follow basic security practices—protect your recovery phrase, use a password manager, and never approve suspicious transactions.
Can I use more than one wallet?
Yes. You can connect different wallets whenever you want, but only one can be active at a time during trading.
